"Really disappointed with this bag" bea_sotted

17 July 2017

Yes, there are mixed views below, and felt we had no choice but to try this bag when Lakeland stopped selling the brilliant breathable bread bags that we have always previously used for our homemade machine-baked bread. We have now tried this three times, each time ensuring that the bag was dry and completely clean, and each time white spots have appeared on the crust within three days, and the loaves feel slightly damp. I am eking out my stock of the breathable bags, and have just six left. PLEASE, Lakeland, re-consider your decision to stop selling the breathable bags.

"A very useful reliable bag that keeps bread fresh" Mrs Bailey-Wood

29 December 2016

I have had one of these bags for a number of year in fact I have a bread bag and a baguette bag both of which live in our camper van where storage of fresh bread and baguettes are difficult at the best of times but using these bags we have travelled all over the UK, most of Europe and we even took them to NewZealand when we hired a camper for 6 weeks. Our bread was Always fresh until the last crust . I have on occasion left bread in the bag in the van when we have unloaded at the end of a trip and often it is 7 days before we go back to check we have decided it makes excellent toast

"Not fit for purpose" Dr Jackson

14 June 2016

I purchased a drawstring bread bag and this was definitely poor value for money it has cost me £7-98 plus x2 loaves.I took my bread out of the packet and it went mouldy faster than it would have if I had not bothered

"Not Like Lakeland" Mrs Hemmings

09 November 2015

I bought this item and discovered, as another reviewer said, it is simply a heavy weight plastic bag inside a pretty cotton one with a drawstring. I found the crumbs difficult to remove for cleaning but my home made bread may have kept for a day longer than usual. Having seen what the item was made of I used a thick plastic bag to the same effect and could have done that to start with for a few pence instead of over £5.00. I assume the inflated price is for the cotton cover which does nothing practical. I have thrown mine away. You are allowed the odd failure Lakeland and this was one.

"Disappointing" Mrs Miller

27 January 2015

I bought the potato storer bag and was delighted, so I expected the bread storage bag to perform equally as well. I'm so disappointed with this product. My homemade bread doesn't stay fresh for more than a day & the crust goes soft. I could have continued using a large plastic bag with the same result. Not up to Lakeland's usual high quality at all (plus it cost me more than £7.99 as I live overseas).

"Works, but bad design" Kate

06 November 2014

I tried these when they first came out but found the liners eventually broke and it became impossible to get crumbs out. I bought another more recently but the liner tore almost immediately! Wont be trying a third time.

"Standard Loaf Bag" Mrs Karen Davies

20 October 2014

I saw this bag and thought it would be so much better than a bread bin on my worktops...how wrong was I?! I already have the potatoes bag and that's great! I have had to throw 3 loaves of bread away because after 2/3 days the bread was beginning to go mouldy. I've tried pulling the drawstring fastening tight but still goes mouldy. I'm beginning to wish I'd read the reviews before buying as I have to agree, it's not one of Lakelands best ideas. :-(

"Disappointing" Alan

20 October 2014

If I’d had the opportunity to handle the product in the store I wouldn’t have bothered. It is just a heavy weight plastic liner inside thin cotton outer bag. For the price charged I was expecting something more exotic. I have, and use, the cloth vegetable/onion/potato bags that Lakeland sell. They’re well-made, sensibly priced and serve their purpose. This bread bag could easily be replaced by a large freezer bag which would only cost a few pence.

"Less than it seems." Clare

23 September 2014

My husband thought he was getting something technologically sophisticated for his &pound;7.99 - but it was just a plastic bag inside a cloth bag. After 4 days his bread was mouldy. It usually takes a week in an ordinary plastic bag. Not impressed.

"An Expensive plastic bag!" Sarah

10 September 2014

I make my own bread, so no preservatives. It generally goes mouldy before we finish a loaf, so I hoped this was something special and had the technology to slove my problem. Sadly no difference, and then the bag has to go through the washing machine to get the spores out. Waste of money! Sorry Lakeland, not up to your standard.

"Disappointed with results." Jennifer

12 August 2014

I bought a standard and a large loaf bag. I am very disappointed I used the standard bag for my bread maker bread and find that though the bread stays fresh it is far too soft and floppy, and difficult to spread to make a decent sandwich with. I like a crisp crust and thought these bags would be better than the Lock box I ordered earlier to store bread in, which gives bread a funny taste too. The bags make the bread even softer than the box did. I have given up on box and bags and now use tea towels to wrap loaves in. I have wasted quite a bit of money on bags and lock box so not very happy.

"Good product, works well for me." Christine

07 July 2014

After reading previous reviews I eventually decided to purchase the standard size bag and give it a go. I am so glad I did as having used it for the past 3 months it has been a great success. I make my own bread and it does keep the loaves fresh for 3-4 days. Noting previous reviews, I make sure that the bag is &quot;crumb free&quot; and give the inside a wipe over before putting a new totally cooled-down loaf in, always making sure the top is pulled together tightly. I have not yet washed the bag, so cannot comment on that aspect, but when it does wear out I will definitely buy another one.

"Bread Bag" Pauline

10 October 2013

Very disappointing I thought the bag would be of the same structure as the Potato and vegetable bag I could have made the bag myself But when in use it does keep the bread (Home made or bought) reasonably fresh with out mould Not one of Lakelands best

"Very disappointing" Mike

02 July 2013

I wish I'd seen these reviews before buying. The first 2 days are great. Bread is kept soft and great. After 2 days every loaf goes mouldy, without fail. Have tried 3 loaves, closing the bag tightly or loosely, and always left to cool before putting into the bag. I can't understand how this got past the development stage?

"Excellent product" Andrew

25 June 2013

I have been baking my own bread for six months, and using the bread keeper bag for that time. It keeps a loaf fresh for up to a week - by which time the next one has been baked! The bag works, and looks nice; I have no hesitation in recommending it.

"a good idea..." Jude

09 April 2013

It does keep my homemade bread fresh. It also is attractive. I just need to make sure that I keep the bread &quot;out&quot; for a good while to totally cool before putting in bag or else it does sweat.

"bit of a con" Neil Hunt

03 December 2012

We regularly buy from Lakeland and find their stuff well made and functional. Having bought two of the vegetable bags I picked up the bread bag expecting similar quality. The bread bag is over three times the cost of the others but is little more than equivalent to a throw away plastic bag. (Lakelands own giveaway blue bags are a better quality) The plastic liner has the chemical smell much the same as recycled bin liners and I would not use this for fresh bread. Given the difference in quality and price between this and the vegetable bags you wonder what Lakeland's buyers are up to.
